Swisstrax for Workshops

Built to Handle Real Work

Workshops don’t stay still for long. Cars roll in, tools hit the ground, oil drips, and the floor takes a beating every single day. Swisstrax flooring is made for that reality — a modular, heavy-duty system that’s just as tough as the jobs happening on top of it.

From small repair bays to full mechanical garages, Swisstrax tiles create a cleaner, safer, and more professional workspace that can handle constant traffic, tools, and fluids without cracking, staining, or wearing down.

Why Choose Swisstrax for Workshops

Workshops across the UK are switching from concrete and epoxy to Swisstrax modular flooring for one simple reason — it lasts. Each tile is injection-moulded from high-impact polypropylene, giving it strength, resilience, and resistance to most oils, greases, and solvents used in automotive environments.

Handles heavy machinery, jacks, and tool impact
Drains away liquids instantly, keeping the surface dry and slip-resistant
Resists workshop chemicals and heat cycles
Installs fast and removes easily for cleaning or reconfiguration
Adds insulation and sound dampening compared to bare concrete

For workshops that run all day, every day, Swisstrax workshop flooring is the reliable, low-maintenance choice that keeps floors safe, smart, and functional.

Safety and Performance Benefits

A good floor isn’t just about looks — it’s a safety feature. Swisstrax tiles are slip-resistant, fatigue-reducing, and comfortable underfoot during long shifts. The raised structure keeps the working surface dry while allowing airflow beneath, so moisture can’t collect or cause corrosion.

Tiles can be lifted individually for deep cleaning or replaced if damaged — no need to shut down a bay or recoat an entire floor. That modular design means less downtime and lower long-term maintenance cost.

Custom Fit and Fast Installation

You can install Swisstrax yourself with standard tools — no adhesives, no curing time, and no lost workdays. If you're unsure of how to order the product, simply check out our great guide to ordering Swisstrax, or give our helpful team a call on 01709 242454. Most workshops can be refloored in a single afternoon. For larger spaces, Gala Tent’s network of professional Swisstrax installers can handle full layout, cutting, and fitting around pits, ramps, and equipment.

Once fitted, sections can be removed, expanded, or re-coloured without disrupting operations — ideal for growing garages or seasonal workshop layouts.

Workshop Floor Design Ideas

Workshop flooring doesn’t have to be plain grey. Many teams use contrasting Swisstrax colours to define safety zones, work areas, and traffic routes — or to match company branding.

Popular options include:

Black and Pearl Grey for a classic professional look
Slate Grey with Citrus Yellow borders for high-visibility safety lanes
Royal Blue zones for specialist bays or equipment sections

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Swisstrax handle vehicle lifts?

Yes. Each tile supports up to 25 tonnes of static load per square foot, so it easily accommodates lifts, jacks, and heavy equipment.

What happens with oil spills?

Oil and fluids drain through the open ribs and can be cleaned from below. The tiles themselves resist most automotive chemicals and won’t degrade.

Can it fit around ramps or pits?

Absolutely. Tiles cut cleanly with a jigsaw or circular saw, making them easy to fit around pits, ramps, and edges.

Is Swisstrax suitable for commercial garages?

Yes. Swisstrax is used in professional garages and motorsport pit setups across the UK and Europe.
